When the police imitate border patrol, every citizen becomes a stranger in their own land. Minneapolis must not become a cage where souls are sorted.๐Ÿ’€

Bernard's 2025 walkthroughs review.

#UrbanGothic: 7/10

Ok it doesn't perhaps deserve a 7 but this unknown UK anthology show surprised me. I added marks for it being simply on YouTube unheralded and it somehow being a Channel 5 show rubbed me up the right way throughout.

I recommend these curios you haven't yet done (keeping it modern for you as I've gone back as far as 1940s TV & 1930s radio).

No greats but surely a good chat ensues:

A massive, nightmarish bat dominates the center of a fog-drenched alleyway, its leathery wings outstretched to an almost impossible span. The creatureโ€™s fur bristles with damp shadows, and its face is twisted into a snarl of sharp teeth, glowing faintly in the dim, artificial light. The narrow alley is cloaked in smoke and mist, with faint reflections shimmering off puddles on the wet ground. Dim lamps and neon signs blur through the haze, bleeding with streaks of red that deepen the sense of menace. Fire escapes and jagged silhouettes of tall buildings press in claustrophobically from above, funneling all attention toward the monster that fills the air. The scene is oppressive, cinematic, and drenched in dread, as though the alley itself is a trap sprung by the beast within it.

Cockney Gothic Few who drift along the ever changing streets of the East End guess just how high the graves are piled beneath their feet. London is a city built upon the remains of those who trod those well worn โ€ฆ

Top three articles over on my #Author portfolio blog in July based on views, #WitchSky. Number one, Cockney Gothic. My love letter to urban tall tales such as #UrbanGothic or #Neverwhere, and a look at my early life as a gutter mage in old London Town.

#UrbanGothic End of walkthrough.
Do I recommend this show?
Absolutely this show is really creative and well crafted. I'll have to look back at my old SFX's and TV Zones to see what they said.
For Channel 5 this is a miracle. But it's 2001 and reality TV was arriving to fu*k creatives out of TV.

#UrbanGothic Ep 2.09 cont'd.
I think the world was destroyed at the end but unsure. Were there any actual fanbase for this show I could probably find out!
I think it was disappointing to kill Agent Winter and she might've played into the final denouement rather than killed exactly like her partner.

#UrbanGothic TV ep #2.09 "Dollhouse Burns [2]" (28-Dec-01).
Whereas earlier eps are a triumph of good writing over low budget video this ep doesn't have that luxury as the ep has so many inputs. Thus it's all a bit nebulous plus the production can't elevate it.
Saying that I also bloody loved it.

#UrbanGothic Ep 2.08 cont'd.
As exciting as it is seeing all these different elements from very separate episodes be combined in a grand finale there is a bit of RTD's whatever you are having yourself word salad arc storytelling too. TV ep #1.13 also tried this same feat but was left open ended.

Tom de Ville did go onto work on #Lexx didn't he?
The people on the meathooks thing was used in Lexx and the Battersea Power Station was in that God awful Lexx episode set there too.

#UrbanGothic TV ep #2.08 "Dollhouse Burns [1]" (28-Dec-01).
The final 2 eps were shown on the one night (in one part?).

Excitingly it ties up the entire series with various ingredients revisited from TV eps #1.01, #1.06, #1.13, #2.02, #2.06.

PS: Did Big Finish just steal all this for The Forge?

#UrbanGothic Ep 2.07 cont'd.
There are 3 interesting cameos in this.

1990s hottie Alison King is in the pre-credits as a sort of introducer but it doesn't really add anything to the story? Why is that scene there?

David J. Howe plays a Zombie!

Sian Jones plays herself as a Channel 5 newsreader!

#UrbanGothic TV ep #2.07 "The End" (25-Dec-01).
Interesting transmission day. Was this ep kept back as it was quite interactive?
It's a live stream Zombie Armageddon ep. But what's great in 2025 is to see 2001 live stream tech tech. So what did it all look like pre-YouTube and online media?

#UrbanGothic TV ep #2.06 "Ritual Slaughter" (26-Nov-01).
A strong two hander.
A psychiatrist takes over care of an in-patient with a compulsive disorder. I liked the patients many OCD rituals and how the tide turned. I think the mirror breaking should have started the tide turning earlier.

#UrbanGothic TV ep #2.05 "Serotonin Wild" (19-Nov-01).
Sub-The Matrix bollocks this one.
Livened up by Anthony Daniels.
Casting Terence Hardiman as the baddie just made it feel even more like the 1990s Children's BBC adventure show it sometimes unfortunately resembles already.

#UrbanGothic TV ep #2.04 "Eater" (12-Nov-01).
Great ep.
Four cops at a holding facility have a new prisoner to guard over their night shift. Their prisoner is a cannibal however it's possible he also can shapeshift into other forms.
Don't watch over dinner! This has a real The Thing-paranoia.

#UrbanGothic TV ep #2.03 "Necromance" (05-Nov-01).
OMG!!!
Jesus that was ummm something!!!
A schoolgirl with a crush casts a love spell. But the guy she fancies is a necrophiliac. She commits suicide in the bath and returns as a corpse.
I got queasy. Should they be showing this stuff so casually?

#UrbanGothic Ep 2.02 cont'd.
In ep 2.01 the Sandman wasn't needed as the ep was already scary so a focus for those scares narratively added nothing. In ep 2.02 getting all sorts of half explanations about what went down prior was confusing. What was filmed was scary and it needed no backstory

#UrbanGothic Ep 2.02 cont'd.
Had this focused on the pure supernatural side and not on over elaborate reveals about the cabal I think it would have been less hard work in the viewer.
There's so much going on at once that working out whose camera is on screen currently means it needs to be rewatched.

#UrbanGothic TV ep #2.02 "Membrane" (29-Oct-01).
Rather like RTD shamelessly trying to plug Doctor Who into the latest fads this show is prone to do the same. This ep it's found footage. In this budget starved show that works well. Reminiscent of REC albeit the final reveal is fairly impenetrable.

#UrbanGothic TV ep #2.01 "Sandman" (22-Oct-01).
Great start to S2.

8 contestants touch a prize car. Whoever is last man standing wins the car. But as time passes and lack of sleep takes over strange things start happening.

The Sandman himself wasn't needed on screen so he might've been cut.

URBAN GOTHIC AT 20: AN INTERVIEW WITH WRITER TOM DE VILLE A film and television writer with an impressive string of credits to his name, from Hammer's The Quiet Ones to NBC's Hannibal to Stan Lee's Lucky Man, Tom de Ville got his big break as the co-creator ...

#UrbanGothic Ep 1.13 cont'd.
I found an interview of Tom De Vile @devilligan.bsky.social by @gnofhorror.com.
The Ginger Nuts guy a big fan of the show so I'm glad someone out there shares my love for "Urban Gothic" (even though I only started it 3 weeks ago!).

#UrbanGothic Ep 1.13 cont'd.
This ties up the series and acts as a finale but there will be a Season 2 in 2001 presumably anthology horror eps too.

I like that all the "Resurrection of the Daleks" locations were reused in this ep and surprisingly by 2000 they still hadn't yet been renovated.
